    Don’t you feel that you have a lot of ‘if’ statements to be so dismissive of the alternate opinion?

    I’m not being rude, but your thesis is that basically you agree salvages are just like a regular car, or we are just dumb and don’t know anything.

    But to arrive at that conclusion, you have to (per your writing) have a set list of things to look for (presupposing you can get that perfectly right every time or even that you won’t be scammed).

    You have to deal with a professional remanufacturer (I used one for my rs7 that one of the largest rs dealers in the country subs work to. They painted it the wrong color, dear lord, what else do these pros get wrong?).

    And then there’s your insurance statement. I was actually curious, because every brain cell I have says that there’s zero chance what you wrote is true. So I researched it. So either you’re wrong, or every insurance company’s page on salvage is lying.

    I’m not being rude, maybe you’ve had great luck and that’s awesome. But you’re making definitive statements that are broad, then having a basically best-case-scenario outcome that isn’t backed up by any evidence.
